Hello David,

exactly. The question is: Is it a Solaris bug or is it something that is
supposed a user is able to do (it doesn't make sense for me)? I posted
this problem to comp.unix.solaris and also contacted the UFS Maintainer
of Solaris (it is not the first UFS bug I original found). If I don't
receive feedback, I am going to open a call with Sun. Whatever is going
on (hopefully it isn't PEBKAC - but I don't think so) and this time it
isn't broken hardware either (like the last time I reported a serious
git bug) because it happens on two machines.
